"Short term I think I'm okay if we don't have RT in France."

You do. On the internet. An increasing amount of people are getting their (fake) news now exclusivly online via "alternative" news sources like RT. Banning one of those sources on television will just mean further entrenching of those people. ("see, they don't want the truth to spread" ...)

" I'd be happy if there were more money to fund school and lessons for children to understand how those fake news work."

And aside to lots and lots of crap in the curriculum, there would be enough school time avaiable to teach more of criticial information analysis and media skills. But partial banning of one source seems like the more comfortable solution. Except that this might really hurt us in the long run, if the next source that will be banned, won't be enemy propaganda source, but just a legitimate critical newspaper for example. But secret service will say the enemy funded and influenced them, so off they go.

What is your point here? That a left wing Wikipedia editor has a left wing defensive opinion?

Did you bother to look at the sources? https://newrepublic.com/article/144317/trumps-racism-myth-cu...

Good stuff.
Of course the US just voted to ban TikTok for vague national security reasons, so maybe we do have a lot in common.
UHF can be used with troposcatter techniques. Before satellites this was somewhat popular. It seems to be having a little bit of a comeback as well as you can get hundreds of miles of propagation fairly reliably and since it's higher frequency you can get a pretty wide bandwidth. Something that can fit on a small trailer can send hundreds of megabits hundreds of miles.
It is possible there is some licensing issue around the SIMD, after all it is an optional component. It was available for the LX6 as well, but not included. It's been a good run but it's great the are going to the RISCV, at the very least for the vibe. I have used both architectures, more recently using their esp-idf and it is surprisingly uneventful to switch between them. The only issue I had is the different high/low speed timer devices between chips. In fact it is a surprise the on chip peripheral hardware is incredibly compatible with their idf. Sure, they have a layer for some calls but a lot is just issuing commands to io devices directly, and the same between riskv and tensilkica cores.
FWIW, I've used this API for some years. On the con side, it uses XML, but on the pro side, it's fast, reliable, and consistent. And free, at least for my volumes.
As someone who was only familiar with Al Jazeera's English reporting (and thought it was pretty good), it was eye opening to check out their Arabic website translated into a language I speak. Maybe Google Translate was erasing some nuance, but I saw a huge number of controversial, disputed, or downright false claims that were reported uncritically as facts.
99+% of interviews in American media aren't trying to challenge the interviewee. They're just trying to gather information from one side, and then they generally try to get a token representative quote from the other side at the very end of an article, but sometimes not even that.

So you seem to be trying to hold Al Jazeera to a vastly higher standard than mainstream US media, at least in this particular regard.

Simply reporting without comment on what important/influential individuals and groups are saying, and adding basic objective context, is a large part of mainstream journalism.

Pushback is often limited to the opinion pages.
Exactly. Excellent video and far more serious than this article.

Twenty is plenty and I don't see why that can't apply to rural roads too. For too long we have had motorists be able to terrorise any other lifeform off the road in the countryside.

If you have dedicated car only infrastructure then that is one thing, but everywhere else, twenty is plenty. This might seem absurd given the lack of cyclists on the road, but it will foster growth of lightweight EVs rather than monster tanks.

As a cyclist I want to see all the speed bumps, traffic lights, bollards and much else banished. Bring back trees, hedges and greenery. Whenever I see footage of places in China I see fantastic landscaping and wonder why we have to have broken glass, graffiti and rubble.

I am with NotJustBikes all the way.

In NYC in 2022 (the most recent version of this report)

- 116 pedestrians were killed in crashes with motor vehicles

- 15 bicyclists were killed in crashes with motor vehicles

- 3 pedestrians were killed in crashes with bicyclists

- 3 bicyclists were killed in crashes with bicyclists (unclear if that includes bicycle-pedestrian interactions or only bicycle bicycle, I suspect the former)

- 1 pedestrian was killed in a crash with a "other motorized (not a motor vehicle)"

This isn't isolated to the outskirts or something. In every borough there were > 10x the number of pedestrian fatalities from crashes with motor vehicles as crashes with bicycles.

The same general trend holds for injuries though I trust the data a bit less since I can imagine injuries going unreported.

I'd suggest that unless you have very atypical habits that put you in conflict with bicycles very often and cars very rarely, you are worrying about the wrong thing.

Xtensa is an unusual beast because its USP (at least, back when it was owned by tensilica) was that you could easily add extensions. Not just off the shelf ones - ones you defined yourself. They had some automation that would generate a toolchain for you to use with your shiny new instructions. Most CPU architectures exist to allow programs written on once implementation to work on another, with Xtensa it's kind of the opposite - it exists to allow each chip to have its own special sauce.

Honestly I was a bit surprised that espressif used it without defining their own extension of some kind, if you're not doing that then you might as well use something better known.

Edit: ajross* points out that this SIMD extension is such a one, not an off the shelf one. So I guess that explains it.

> I doubt that? If a bollard stops a car which would have caused an emergency that is often reason enough for an emergency response in itself. It doesn’t change the number of emergency calls, just changes the form of the emergency.

A somewhat common automotive accident in NYC is one where a driver falls asleep or unconscious at the wheel, causing (or nearly causing) a mass casualty event on a sidewalk. These kinds of tragedies can happen at low speeds, since the car rolls forwards silently over the curb and hits pedestrians or cyclists from behind. Bollards would stop this, just like they would stop cyclists from being backed into by trucks in bike lanes, and pedestrians from being sideswept on non-daylit corners, etc.

Of course, these are contrived examples. But the larger phenomenon holds: a single driver injured after collision with a bollard requires fewer emergency resources than a driver plus pedestrians injured after collision with a building.

I'll point out again: other cities have solutions for this that clearly work without impeding emergency response. Compare London's emergency response times[1] to NYC's[2].

This is a great book, there’s a few tools I would add.

Datasette, clickhouse local (cli) and duckdb.

I think ripgrep is a big omission, ripgrep | xargs jq and find -exec jq is one of my most common data science workflows cause you can get stuff done in a few minutes. An example of where I use this is to debug Infrastructure as Code that is generated for many regions and AZs quickly.

Another one I like in this space is Bioninformatics Data Skills, for some reason Bioinformaticians use CLI workflows a lot and this book covers a lot of good info for those who are just starting out like tmux, make, git, ssh, background processes.

Two other techniques I like are git-scraping (tracking the changes of data over time or just saving snapshots of your data to git so you can diff it): https://simonwillison.net/2020/Oct/9/git-scraping/ I most recently have used this technique to diff changes to build artifacts over time.

This technique is not really CLI related per se, but I really like the http range query technique of hosting data: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27016630 There’s simple ways to use this idea (like cooking up a quick h2o web server conf) to host data quickly.

I also like the makefile data pipeline idea, I believe the technique is described in the book but I first heard of it from this HN comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18896204 The basic idea is that you can use make to orchestrate the steps of your command line data science workflow and let make figure out when your intermediate data needs to be generated again. A good example is this map reduce with make here: https://www.benevolent.com/news-and-media/blog-and-videos/ho...

So far about 30 startups were founded over the matching service out of how many who got into a batch over the years? We’re talking probably about less than one percent. The service puts also a prominent emphasis on formal credentials like which university you graduated from. Your idea doesn’t matter at all, it’s just personality and some credentials.
I think they do, as long as their internet connections are up. At least the Gazans I follow on social media seem to be perfectly aware of the world news. Graffiti tags on refugee tents in Rafah thanking American students for their solidarity seems to support that.

I’ve also read in the past that Al Jazeera is a rather popular media outlet among Palestinians in Gaza.

> Pan-Arab satellite TVs, especially Qatar's Al-Jazeera, are popular. [1]

I know that Shireen Abu Akleh—an Al Jazeera journalist murdered by IDF in 2022—was a superstar among Palestinians, including Palestinans in Gaza.

Donald Knuth on Donald Knuth:

‘The story you heard is typical of legends that are based on only a small kernel of truth. Here’s what actually happened: John McCarthy decided in 1971 to have a Memorial Day Programming Race. All of the contestants except me worked at his AI Lab up in the hills above Stanford, using the WAITS time-sharing system; I was down on the main campus, where the only computer available to me was a mainframe for which I had to punch cards and submit them for processing in batch mode. I used Wirth’s ALGOL W system (the predecessor of Pascal). My program didn’t work the first time, but fortunately I could use Ed Satterthwaite’s excellent offline debugging system for ALGOL W, so I needed only two runs. Meanwhile, the folks using WAITS couldn’t get enough machine cycles because their machine was so overloaded. (I think that the second-place finisher, using that "modern" approach, came in about an hour after I had submitted the winning entry with old-fangled methods.) It wasn’t a fair contest.

As to your real question, the idea of immediate compilation and "unit tests" appeals to me only rarely, when I’m feeling my way in a totally unknown environment and need feedback about what works and what doesn’t. Otherwise, lots of time is wasted on activities that I simply never need to perform or even think about. Nothing needs to be “mocked up.”’

Aren't human stochastic parrots in the end? I mean, when we "learn", don't we model our internal stochastic functions? Whether it is walking, learning a language, or anything else.
You cannot base science on political declarations /qualifications
instead of merit, if you wish for advancements in the fields.

This is all the administrative class at universitets and government,
declaring their raison d'etre and accumulated authority.

They cant really understand science or do much about it, so you cannot
base power on that, so they must work hard to construct a vehicle that
is untouchable my sciences, that will be feared.
Then you can cement your authority on the new construct and keep
adding to it, to accumulate more importance and power.

Quicky this vehicle will overtake science in relative importance
for various institutions because this is about "justice and doing
what is right and decent". Science is mundane and boring.
I wondered mid-article if it was partially AI generated, and to the article's point, if it was serious.

On the overarching question, standard coffee in the US was mostly weak drip and unsophisticated instant stuff, and I don't think most took coffee "seriously". Kids drinking it from teacher's room or not.

Starbucks and others gave it a more hip position with more variety and consideration, while still being something considerably different from "serious" coffee made by small independant shops for instance.

And now the author's complaining that coffee's image has changed again because Starbucks isn't the miracle company anymore. Does it matter much?

If anything the coffee culture that grew in parallel to these Pumpking Spice days is probably there to stay and "serious" coffee is probably stronger than it ever was considering the starting point.

I'm waiting for the next analysis on how the toast culture lost its lusture as avocado toasts are on the fall.
I saw a catalog of mobility aids and they had self-pay electric wheelchairs for around $2 to $3 thousand, just as an example.
This is actually pretty plausible if you consider how big a step forward Nix is in terms of reproducible and auditable open-source packaging. Of course anyone who wants to maintain the supply-chain attack avenue would try to gum up the works.
> With the web you have to trust the app developer

The linked comment goes into it, but you have to trust the web hosting platform, the CA ecosystem, etc. We're talking not just Apple/Google being able to attack you, but also China, and even some script kiddie with a Node.js exploit.

> with mobile you have to trust the app developer plus Google or Apple on top of that.

The OS/browser vendor can record what you're doing with a web app just as easily as a native app. Thankfully they have very strong incentives not to do so, and can usually be held accountable with code signatures (the non-repudiation part).

Not at all. If I understand correctly, the failure to synchronize was a fundamental flaw in the the networking code and had nothing to do with the payloads inside the networking code.

Huy Fong isn't the "original" Sriracha after all.

The sauce originates in the town of Si Racha, Thailand, where Huy Fong's founder was briefly a refugee on his way from Viet Nam to the US.

A good "original" Thai brand is Sriraja Panich. I was lucky to randomly pick up a few bottles at Grocery Outlet, before I learned all the dirt above!
> How can you lose when you’re selling an addictive substance? Even the most brain-cell-deprived stoner in your high school class eventually figured out how to deal.

Unlike other addictive drugs, selling coffee is not at all regulated, let alone a crime. So the competition to sell you some is incredible fierce.
...So you need three plates? Machinists have known this for over a century.
Do you have any data to contradict this? The statement you are asking for data about is an opinion, and asking for data to back up an opinion is at best a logical fallacy.

However, if you want to know how I got my opinion, I would suggest that you look at NYC, which has almost eliminated pedestrian fatalities by heavily enforcing its 25 MPH speed limit and similar traffic laws. Conversely, most drivers I see in suburban areas drive at least 5 MPH over the speed limit.
Yeah, I've resorted to buying Pre-Flashed tasmota devices. There's this german webshop mediarath.de, which sells home-automation devices that come pre-flashed with a customizable tasmota build for not much more then 'default'
As a moderate, I do suspect that a lot of conservatives like to concern troll, but on the other hand, the far left really seems to like to double down on defending wild takes, like the university presidents refusing to answer whether calling for the genocide of Jews violates the code of conduct of their universities, which makes this line of questioning relevant.
Al Jazeera was one of the few sources of 'on the ground' journalism in Gaza.

It's quite chilling that western democracies have stood back from ensuring journalistic freedom is upheld in the reporting up until now. To allow the removal of the last effective observational counterpoint to Israel's narrative points to the acceptance of despot power of Israel over the population of Gaza.

Effectively it sanctions whatever Israel wants to do to that population without any oversight or reporting. Given what has been done in sight and the obvious desire of the Israeli government to attack Rafah, and the US's impotency to influence Israel it's clear this move is just to reduce the risk of ongoing exposure of children and other innocents being slaughtered on TV repeatably and without having to even pretend justification.

We live in extraordinary times.

Your question is phrased with humans as in intruders on space that exists for cars.

As long as cars have existed they have have been intruders into human spaces.
Would it make more sense to have a generic statement, where one could do more dei side or it could be reaching out to undergraduates.

Basically, a "aside from your teaching and research ability, what have you done to improve your campus that would make us want to hire you"

It's much more ambiguous, on what is valuable.

(I have no idea what the hiring process is like, just a random thoughts)
>If someone barely get's a PR accepted, they probably lack the skills to add a sophisticated backdoor.

Unforuntately it's easy to sandbag being dumb. Just because someone submits a PR defining constants for 0-999 does not mean they're actually bad at programming.
> An actual argument involves more annoying to fudge (and admittedly, harder to compile) data like frequency, normalization against population or historical averages, geographic localization, etc.

We've seen that even these aren't that hard to fudge. Selection bias, p-hacking, mobbing researchers who publish politically unpopular results as a deterrent, etc.

What you need is basically the opposite of that. Replication of controversial results in preregistered studies by independent researchers trusted to be honest by both sides of the controversy. Refuting results you don't believe to be true using evidence rather than silencing the original authors. A culture of good science.

How to get that is a different question.

> In Houston, bollards and raised pedestrian paths were removed recently (after being installed last year) because drivers kept hitting them.

So the city chooses not to pay the cost of protecting pedestrians, in favor of letting individual pedestrians bear the risk, and cost, of being injured themselves. If ever there were a better example of externalizing costs ….
also, i think it's a pretty large amount of computer time! it was enough to do things every month that would have required decades or centuries with a pocket calculator

if you were using an ibm 370 model 168 http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/370/funcChar/GA22-7010-4_37..., you were running on a machine with 1 to 8 mebibytes of ram (dedicated entirely to your program if in batch mode), 16 mebibytes of virtual memory, an l1 cache which i think was 8 kibibytes by default, 1.3 megabytes per second of i/o per channel (with up to 12 channels), and a fixed-point (32-bit) multiply took 780 nanoseconds, so you could do about 1.3 million multiplies per second. your data would often be on magtape, which moved 2.9 meters per second, which would be 700 kilobytes per second at 6250 characters per inch (introduced 01973). 4 hours would be 18 billion multiplies

the apple ][, by comparison, could have 64 kibibytes of ram, and read or write a floppy at about two kilobytes per second and run about 300'000 instructions per second, delivering 0.021 dhrystone mips on an apple //e, according to https://netlib.org/performance/html/dhrystone.data.col0.html. so, coming at it from a batch processing perspective, this particular 370 model had about 64 times as much ram as a maxed-out apple ][, about 64 times as much computing power (maybe 1024× for floating-point stuff), and i/o on the order of 2048 times faster

so those 4 hours of computer would allow you to process a quantity of data on magtape that would take about a year swapping floppies on an apple ][, or do an amount of calculation the apple would need weeks or months for

suppose instead of the apple your alternative was an hp-35 non-programmable pocket calculator, introduced in 01972, or more or less equivalently, a slide rule. you need about 2 seconds to enter each new operand and press an operation key. we can derate those 18 billion multiplies in the 4-hour monthly allocation to about 5 billion total operations if we include cosines, square roots, etc. this would take you 300 years to do by hand on the hp-35. on a programmable hp-65 (introduced 01974) maybe only 30 years

the enormous benefit of the apple ][ was that you got millisecond turnaround instead of hundred-kilosecond turnaround. for many purposes, those eight orders of magnitude less latency more than compensated for the two or three orders of magnitude you were sacrificing in throughput

when i started using time-shared unix machines in the 01990s (according to the dhrystone link, the decstation 3100 was 13.4 dhrystone mips, so roughly 16 times the mainframe described above) i would log into a shell server with 16-64 other concurrent users. the default cpu time limit was, i think, 10 minutes. that is, when you launched a program, if it used 10 minutes of cpu, the os would kill it. before netscape, the only time i ever saw this happen was when i accidentally wrote infinite loops. i could use an interactive program like trn or tcsh or emacs for hours and hours without hitting that limit
